FAQ

Who takes all of your photos? My husband takes a lot of my photos and was my photographer when I first started. Now I have another photographer I use on a regular basis. But I still love having Michael shoot me!

What self-tanner do you use? I shared all my favorite products and tips for the perfect sunless tan in a blog post here.

What’s your advice for new bloggers? You don’t grow overnight, this takes time. Make sure you are able to post consistently and include high quality images before you decide to start blogging seriously. Make sure to network yourself, by visiting other blogs and commenting. Use trending hashtags that are relevant on instagram and twitter. Blogging is very fun, but a lot of hard work and dedication. Good things don’t come easy, ever!

What type of camera do you use? We use this camera here and this lens here.

How can you grow your instagram?

Take high quality, well lit photos and post consistently. Tag brands you are wearing on instagram for a possible feature/regram. Use relevant hashtags and post at peak times of the day. Instagram now has analytics that show you what times have the best engagement from your audience.

What instagram filters do you use?

To edit photos taken on my phone, I use Afterlight, VSCO and Snapseed are all my favorites.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas from my family to yours! A couple weekends ago we did a quick family photo shoot for Christmas cards. Yes, I procrastinated on getting the cards done. I know I keep blaming our move, but seriously, it was because if the move. Luckily, I was able to order Christmas cards from Tiny Prints and had them on my doorstep in just two days! They were postmarked and in the mail by the Saturday before Christmas. Just in the nick of time! Tiny Prints never fails me when it comes to finding darling holiday card designs and their rush delivery is amazing! The year before we did a fun New Year’s card from Tiny Prints and loved it as well. So if you are too late in getting the Christmas cards, it’s not too late to send a card; there are always fun themes for the new year.

This holidays, I hope you are spending times with the ones you love most! Thank you so much for reading! See you back on Friday.
